They're (drug boats) very rare now. You don't see too many of them. But drugs by sea are down 97 percent.

Now we're going to stop them by land, too. The land is easy. We had to do the sea before we did the land because it just works out.

Mexico has to get their act together because they're (drugs) pouring through Mexico and we're going to have to do something.

We'd love Mexico to do it. They're capable of doing it. But unfortunately, the cartels are very strong in Mexico.

Well, I like Claudia [Sheinbaum]. I think she's a terrific person.

I would say every single time I talk to her, I offer to send troops. And she's just not willing.

She's concerned. She's a little afraid. The cartels are running Mexico, whether you like it or not. It's not nice to say, but the cartels, the cartels are running Mexico.

We were prepared to do a second strike if we needed. We're totally prepared.

We're still prepared. If they don't behave, we will do a second strike.

Thailand and Cambodia, I was very proud of that.

They started up again and they got it. So I give myself one quarter of a point for that.

So now I'm eight and one quarter points because they started up Thailand and Cambodia and now it's OK.

I think we'll have a deal at some point, hopefully in the not too distant.

They wanted to make me happy. Modi's a very good guy.

He knew I was happy and it was important to make me happy. They do trade and we can raise tariffs on them very quickly.

The Russian economy is lousy. But what's really lousy is the Venezuelan economy.

The Venezuelan economy is, I think, the worst economy I've ever seen. If you look at inflation, it's things are doubling every day.

It's a disaster. We got to fix the country fast.

Everybody has rare-earth. Rare-earth is not rare. What's rare is the processing. We're doing processing plants.

There's no such thing as rare-earth. Rare-earth is everywhere.

What isn't everywhere is the processing of rare-earth. And we have a lot of places going up right now.

Think of it. They have a dead country. They don't have government.

They don't have anything. They don't have a military. All they do is run around shooting people and trying to capture ships.

You know, we don't let them take ships anymore. You know why? We use the same exact missile on them that we use on the drug carriers. And it's very effective.

You notice there's nobody capturing ships anymore? Because as they head out to go capture the ship — and the ship doesn't want to fire back because it's very flammable stuff, in many cases.

But we're hitting them so hard. And it's very similar. Same missile system. It's called Deadly Accurate.

It's actually very easy. They head out. We say, "Guess what?" There's pirates. Bing (airstrike). That's the end of the pirates.

The shipping business is coming back — these are little things that we're doing.

And I'm doing it not just for American ships. I'm doing it worldwide. Because we don't want ships taken by Somalian pirates.

They're stealing money from the American taxpayer. And every one of them should be forced to leave this country, including Ilhan Omar, who's a total crook. She's one of the leaders of it. Not the only, because she's not that smart.

Nineteen billion dollars, at least, they've stolen from Minnesota and from the United States.

It's actually more from the United States because Minnesota puts in — and we're not going to pay it anymore. We're going to have Waltz go pay.

We need total access.

We need access to the oil and to other things in their country that allow us to rebuild their country.

Well, I don't want to talk about Greenland. Let's talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine.

And we'll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let's talk about Greenland in 20 days.

I will say this about Greenland. We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic.

Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place.

We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you that.

You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security in Greenland: they added one more dog sled.

They thought that was a great move.

My people are talking with her.

I just say that she will face a situation probably worse than Maduro [if she doesn't cooperate].

Maduro gave up immediately. He raised his hand, he gave up. And he did the right thing, but he gave up.

We were so effective, and it was so fast and violent. It was very violent, but we were so effective.
